Manchester City defender John Stones felt his team-mates did enough to progress versus Monaco but lost the tie in a poor first-half display.

John Stones blamed a sloppy first-half performance for Manchester City's Champions League elimination against Monaco.

The Ligue 1 leaders progressed to the quarter-finals on the away-goals rule after Tiemoue Bakayoko's header 13 minutes from time sealed a 3-1 victory on the night at the Stade Louis II.

Leroy Sane's goal six minutes earlier had City on the brink of going through, with Pep Guardiola's side having shown ample improvement from a chastening first half where Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho were on target for the rampant hosts.

"We were very sloppy, not up to our standard in the first half. We wanted to correct that but we weren't clinical enough in both boxes," England centre-back Stones told BT Sport.

"We didn't create enough chances and we weren't defensively solid enough in the first half.

"The second half didn't reflect the scoreline. We were the City people know from this season. We should have scored more goals."
